Is this Skype compatible?

Yes, it has a front facing camera - which is perfect for skype. It does not, however, support bluetooth devices, such as bluetooth headsets. Other than that, it works just fine!

Skype worked well on mine, calling to a phone overseas without using the camera. The speaker is weak, though.

Yes, I video skype with my daughter and wife often when I'm in the office. I don't know if I'd consider it HD, but it's definitely good quality video (I can easily see the painting/pictures/crafts my daughter made in school) and the audio is very clear. We downloaded the skype app from the android play store, logged into our skype profiles, then "called" each other. Haven't had any issues with skype either.

I don't see why not. This camera worked with all windows OS apps that support a camera. Google Chrome had no problem with this camera under Skype.

Unfortunately Skype has to be download it as an app, this phone is not capable of downloading apps since it is not a smartphone.

To use the Skype feature, users must add software to a PC. However, Mac's are totally incompatible. The proprietary software will not load.

Skype app is installed as standard and last time I checked it still worked. Check if update is available?

I have never configured my Gigaset to work with Skype. It looks like there is a way to get some kind of SIP credentials from Skype but I am not sure how you tackle the incoming and outgoing call issue.. Skype has a number of phones that are SKYPE ready- http://shop.skype.com/phones/#/categoryid=2&sortby;=3&subcategoryid;=&filter;=&manufa;cture=&price;_range=~75|75~150|150~225|225~&page;=2&mac;=0Myself and two other friends own Gigasets and use Viatalk for our providers. It's very inexpensive with the 2 yr plan and the quality is amazing

Yes it does. To use it for skype you will need to set up a 'hands free device' profile. It works well with skype

Yes, I have used this very setup on a Skype call. Just make sure Skype is configured to use the Shure mic and headphones for output.

No. It's not possible. It's 1.4.5 WebOS, you can't get higher upgrade on this phone. To get Skype you need at least 2.0 WebOS.

I don't think so. A good reliable connection that can handle the Skype protocol throughput and latency requirements is all that is needed. Hope that helps.

Yes it is compatible with skype, and there should be an issue using it outside the states, provided that where you are going to has wifi if needed.

6:30 pm 18Jan15Hi! there, JamesYes, this Grandstream is compatible with a Skype account set up. The process is very similar to using a PC/Laptop. The respective skype addresses are entered into the phone either manually or configured to 'auto-connect'. BTW. I have an extra unit still in the box that was purchased as a backup. I'll let it go for a fair amount. Take care. Kind Regards, Richard

Yes, my mother uses it for Skype and it works very well. I was suprised by the quality of audio, it was very good.

Yes, you can.It is 100% compatible with skype.You can use it connecte to a network wireless or use a 3G signal contracte with your prefered company.Note: depending on 3G signal strong you could have some issues because the speed would be not the same that when using a wireless network

Don't know - but you can access the User Manual on line at Samsung and that might help. This is an Android phone - but it's the Android version from late 2011 - not the most recent - I guess you should just check with the Skype people. I'm pretty sure somewhere on the Amazon site it does mention which OS version it is, that should be all you need to find out from Skype if it will be supported. I know it will set up a portable WiFi spot because that's one of the BIG reasons I bought it.

I have downloaded skype and can use it. The quality depends on the speed of the connection.
